Lai Muhammad, the minister of information culture and tourism said Nigerian Government under President Buhari know we’re about the Bandits and kidnappers, but are been careful in handling them.
“One of the most difficult things to do, for a democratically-elected government, is to use the instruments of coercion against its own people. For example, while the nation’s military have superior firepower over the rag tag band of Boko Haram and ISWA, the terrorists most often than not operate among the populace, either in our villages or towns, hence the military, in tackling them, is usually careful to avoid collateral damage.
“The same applies to the kidnappers who abduct our school children. Usually, the location of the kidnappers is not unknown to security forces, but they still have to exercise caution in order not to hurt the same children they are trying to rescue. Despite these inhibitions, the security forces have the wherewithal to decisively tackle the challenges,” Mohammed had said.
Meanwhile the same Nigeria Government send soldiers to open fire on peaceful #Endsars protesters.
Why can’t the Government apply the same lethal force they use on #Endsars to Boko Haram, Bandits and kidnappers?
